This is my third visit to the Beach Club and must say I really enjoyed my stay.
Id enjoyed the food on my last two visits but this year I thought it was even better.The hotel has a large dinning room and never had any trouble finding a table.
I didn't hear of any one getting the bug during my stay but I must say I was a bit worried before I arrived after reading some of the reports on here.
The staff kept the hotel clean and to my mind were very pleasant.I know the hotel is a fair way from Torremolinos centre but this did not worry me as I like walking.
The only down side for me was the bar downstairs was so full of smoke during the entertainment, it could do with a better extraction system than they have at the moment.
I shall look forward to returning again next year.

We arrived at the hotel on Sat 24th Nov 07 for a weeks A/I. Myself my daughter and my grandaughter.
I had read reports of a bug so say going round but others had dissmissed this as rubbish, it rained the first day so we stayed within the hotel and of course ate there, I was impressed by the anti bacterial wipes given uot as you went into the main dining area, but was slightly concerned about the number of flies within the self service food area.
That first night we could plainly hear guests on our floor vomiting throughout the night.the second night it was me!
The third night it was my grandaughter a 17mth old baby we could not take the risk of staying any longer and paid 210euros to fly home the next day.
I would not reccomend this hotel to anyone its a huge health risk.

We have both been ill while staying at Hotel, so were lots of others holiday makers. We were told the virus was in the air. In the Dining Room all food was uncovered for long periods,so the flies has a good feed., so we were ill for most of our holiday. We came home 25th Nov. we are still not well. We feel we have waisted our money as it was allinclusive and we were not well enought toeat and drink for four out of seven days.

Spent 2 weeks here from Nov 30th to Dec 14.Weather really good, sunny and warm every day with a couple of windy days.
Firstly the "bug." Never saw any real evidence of it, but did speak to one lady( a regular visitor over many years) whose husband had been taken ill with it and also did see the ambulance visiting several times, but that could, of course have been for other reasons.
Plenty of food on offer with plenty of choices but we thought the quality was lacking at times and it was not always hot, especially in "pasta corner." Restaurant staff on the whole quite pleasant, with one or two exceptions. I think they need to improve the dish washing facilities, I picked up a cup which still had lipstick traces on it and soup dishes at dinner still had the morning cornflakes stuck to it. Plates very often still wet, not having been dried properly.
Bar staff very friendly and were usually happy to enjoy a bit of banter, especially downstairs in the Magnum bar.
I've never really been a lover of hotel entertainment and there wasn't much on here to make me change my mind, most acts were quite mediocre with just one or two exceptions.
Reception staff very helpful and checking in was extremely quick.
The location is a bit quiet but the bus stop is outside and its a 10 minutes stroll to La Colina railway station for trips out as far as Fuengirola one way and Malaga the other.
We wouldn't spend 2 weeks here again, that seemed a bit too long for us, but this is a 2/3 star all inclusive hotel which doesn't cost the earth and does represent good value for money.

Have just returned from the Beach Club and had a great time. We were all inclusive on this holiday. The weather was perfect. Very warm and sunny in the day but occasionally cooler in the evening, needing a light wrap or jacket if venturing out. Central heating was on from late evening and early morning but the bedroom thermostat can be turned down if need be.
I have heard several times before that the hotel has had problems with a gastric type bug that affects some people but not others. I and my family did not have any problems when we last visited about 5 or 6 years or so ago and everything was fine for us but we did speak to one other in the hotel who was affected by the 'bug' but did not notice anyone else. In fact we were quite surprised when we saw a programme on tv shortly afterwards about the hotel and the bug and could not believe it was the same hotel we had stayed in.
On the most recent visit - from 25 October to 1 November - we overheard the maid talking on the corridor to the people in the room next to us and saying she hoped the wife was soon feeling better. My grandson became unwell on the 4th day of our holiday. He had just left the kids club and was saying how hungry he was then suddenly vomited! He was intermittently unwell for the rest of the day but by the following day, was back to normal. I do suspect that it may well have been the sun that contributed towards the illness as it was very hot and he did not have any other gastric symptoms at all.
The hotel was very clean and we noticed that there is a constant rolling programme for maintenance / domestic services.
The restaurant is open 08.00

The food and cleanliness in the Beach Club was fine. Plenty of choice at all meal times. No long queues at the bar and the staff friendly enough. .but in October there were millions of flies everywhere not only in the hotel but in Torremolinos and Benalmadena.

Just returned from this hotel and would not return, we went all inclusive food was good at breakfast, lunch and dinner but if you wanted a snack in between, be prepared to have the same snack 3 times a day for a fortnight--- cold chips, sausages, beans, and left over bacon.
The rooms were nice and the cleaner was excellent, bar staff were nice.
Entertainment at night was absolutely terrible for children, disco for children for 30 minutes and that was it and they weren't really that interested in them for the 30 minutes that it was on, they're more interested in getting on with the bingo for adults, first week we saw the same band 3 times.
As for the bug, there is a bug that lasts for 24 hours , sickness and diarrohea, we all came down with it 3 adults and 3 children, and we spoke to alot of people in the hotel and they all had it-- adults and children.
If your looking for a family hotel with things for children to do, I would not recommend it the kids will be bored.

We have just returned from our third visit at The Torremolinos Beach Club and felt compelled to put things straight as far as this hotel is concerned.
My family and I arrived for a ten night stay from 26th May to find that very little had changed from last year other than the downstairs main bar is now in the hands of the hotel and not franchised out as before. The service generally here is fine although the barmen could smile a little more, but then when people don

13 people in my family stayed at this hotel in may 07. On appearance the hotel is an excellent standard for a 3 star.
Unfortunately most of the family had "the bug"if that's what you call it. 2 children and elderly father in law worst hit. Don't know what they are doing wrong appears very clean to me yet some reviews are that they were not affected when they went on holiday.
Lovely looking hotel for its class food even tasted good, great variety.

What a lovely hotel definitely much better than your normal 3 star. The bedroom accommodation was spotless well funished and a nice size.
The food/drink was first class and the facilities offered were very good and the evening entertainment was of a good standard.
Staff were very helpful and polite.
Would recommend this hotel to any Although positioned away from the centre it was right on the beach with bars restaurants and shops nearbuy. The train station La Colina is about ten minutes walk from the hotel and is a very cheap way to travel.
